Disability & Accessibility Resources

Division of Student Life

Disability & Accessibility Resources works with students with disabilities who seek academic, housing, or other accommodations for disability-related needs. We engage in an individualized and interactive process with each student to determine reasonable and appropriate accommodations. 

Disability-related accommodations

All students are welcome to meet with a Disability & Accessibility Resources staff member to discuss potential accommodation needs. Examples of disability-related accommodations for students include: 

  • testing accommodations, such as extended time or a reduced-distraction testing environment
  • in-class accommodations, such as note taking services, recorded lectures, or priority seating
  • alternative format materials, such as access to texts in a digital, audio, or Braille format
  • coordination of communication services, such as interpreters, readers, and scribes
  • mobility-based accommodations, such as classroom re-assignment
  • housing accommodations, such as a single occupancy room or wheelchair-accessible unit
  • any other accommodation that is needed to ensure equal access to Reed programs and services

This list is not comprehensive. Reed College takes a highly individualized approach to providing accommodations. For information on how to request one of these or other accommodations, please visit our Accommodations Process page.
